OT Assessments
Why Do I Need An Assessment?
Occupational Therapy assessments are pivotal in identifying a child's developmental strengths, challenges, and therapy needs. Our therapists conduct in-depth analysis and interpretation of assessment results to create individualized therapy goals and intervention plans tailored to your child's specific requirements.
We are able to provide the following assessments:
Initial Screening Assessment
The summary report includes information from parent interviews, clinical observations, recommendations for future services and occupational therapy goals.
Functional Capacity Assessment
A detailed report is provided on key areas such as communication, social interaction, learning, mobility, self care and community accessibility, which may be used to support funding needs.
Handwriting Assessment (DASH)
A formal evaluation of your child's handwriting legibility, speed and pencil grip. Your child's letter formation, spacing, alignment, legibility and uniformity of slope and size of letters will also be evaluated.
A detailed report for special consideration applications in VCE as well as practical recommendations can be provided.
Fit-in Assessment
We understand that the waiting period for regular therapy appointments can be long. In the case of a cancelled appointment, we offer fit-in assessments for families who are flexible with appointment times.
If therapeutic intervention is required, you will be prioritised for ongoing therapy appointments or contacted when a cancellation occurs.
